How to Create a Slim V-Line with Lifting for a Double Chin



Provider: Imi-seok Theme Dermatology Clinic



Why do so many people want a V-line face? There are various reasons, such as making the face look smaller and the features appear more defined, but above all, it satisfies the current standard of beauty while also giving others a sophisticated, neat impression and a youthful look.



The area that has the greatest influence on a V-line face is the chin. To create a V-line, the jawline must be clearly visible. Accordingly, people who have a double chin, often called a "double chin" or "two chin," are visiting dermatology clinics near Gangnam Station for concerns about double chin removal, getting rid of a double chin, and lifting sagging cheeks.



As warm spring approaches, the heavy layers of clothing we used to wrap ourselves in have become much lighter, but the fat under the chin still sticks out without any regard!

Let's look at the reasons a double chin forms, as well as the types of lifting and treatment methods for creating a V-line.

If you have a double chin even though you haven't gained weight?

A double chin is often thought to be something that appears when you gain weight. Of course, that is not wrong, but there are also cases where that is not the reason, so it is necessary to receive an accurate diagnosis with a dermatologist to determine which case applies to you.



1. When the fat under the chin increases along with overall weight gain

This is the case where, as the whole body gains weight, fat also accumulates under the chin. Accordingly, people with obesity can easily develop a double chin.



2. When the skin around the chin sags due to decreased facial elasticity and becomes chin fat

As you age and skin aging progresses, the synthesis of collagen and elastin fibers in the dermis decreases. Hyaluronic acid, which fills the spaces between them, also decreases, and as a result, volume is lost. When the elasticity of the area supporting fat cells and muscles weakens like this, the skin around the chin sags downward, making the jawline uneven and causing the appearance of protruding flesh.



3. When fat accumulates under the chin as facial muscles weaken

The face contains many muscles that are organically connected. These muscles allow you to make various expressions, chew food, and speak. If these facial muscles and expression muscles are not used often and become weak and loose, they can interfere with the smooth circulation of moisture and lymph fluid, causing fat to accumulate under the chin and gradually turning into a double chin.



4. When poor lifestyle habits have continued for a long time

People with a straight neck, forward head posture, or a hunched back are more likely to develop a double chin. This is because their usual posture is misaligned, causing the back to hunch or the neck to lean to one side. If you habitually rest your chin on your hand or use a high pillow, your neck is pushed forward, which can weaken the muscles under the chin, cause the tongue to drop downward, and lead to a double chin.

Types of lifting

How can an already formed double chin be removed? First, it is necessary to improve lifestyle habits correctly, but it is not easy to completely get rid of chin fat with habit changes alone. If you combine laser, Botox, and thread lifting treatments for a double chin, you can noticeably improve it in a short time.



1. Laser lifting

Laser improves a double chin by inducing the regeneration of facial skin elasticity. When laser is applied and the synthesis of collagen and elastin fibers needed for elasticity takes place, elasticity is restored from within, which can improve sagging skin under the chin.



2. Botox lifting

Botox is a procedure that injects a small amount of botulinum toxin, diluted to a safe concentration, into the facial muscle layer to reduce bulky muscles. People with a large facial volume due to a square jaw, for example, can create a smaller, slimmer V-line face through lifting Botox. When injecting Botox, it is important to carefully inject it into various lifting points in the epidermis, dermis, and muscle layers.



3. Thread lifting

Thread lifting is a skin-lifting procedure that restores elasticity by inserting dissolvable medical threads into the skin to pull sagging tissue upward. Since the downward-sagging flesh is lifted upward, a slimmer jawline can be created. It also has the effect of promoting collagen production in the dermis, so it is often used in cases where excessive chin fat has caused a double chin.

Lasers and medical skin care effective for a double chin

Among the various facial lifting methods to improve a double chin, we recommend laser treatment as a non-surgical option. This is because, when considering fear of anesthesia, pain, and the possibility of scarring, it is the least burdensome method.

For improving chin fat with lasers, the cause, location, and depth must first be precisely diagnosed. Treatment then proceeds by carefully applying lasers that induce the regeneration of collagen and elastic fibers. At this time, not only the fat under the chin but also the jawline must be considered to expect satisfactory results, so it is necessary to receive the procedure from experienced medical staff.

Shurink

Shurink laser is an ultrasound laser preferred by many people because its lifting effect is visible enough to be noticeable in a short time and because its cost is reasonable. It has the effect of improving the jawline as well as the overall facial line. It works by forming thermal coagulation points in the fibromuscular fascia layer at a depth of 4.5 mm, then forming thermal coagulation points in the lower dermis at a depth of 3 mm, and then forming thermal coagulation points in the upper dermis at a depth of 1.5 mm. As a result, collagen contracts around the thermal coagulation points and regeneration is promoted, allowing you to see the Shurink lifting effect inside and out.



New Thermage CPT

Thermage lifting using New Thermage CPT uses improved Thermage laser equipment and, like Shurink, induces collagen contraction and regeneration. Its advantages are less pain and quick recovery, to the point that you can wash your face or apply makeup immediately after the procedure. Although it varies by individual, a single treatment can provide elasticity-enhancing effects for an average of six months. It is a laser favored by those who want an overall slim facial line and improved firmness.

Ulthera

Ulthera lifting is a lifting method using Ulthera, a laser device that received U.S. FDA approval for brow lifting. It is characterized by delivering ultrasound energy to the skin to produce a strong lifting effect. Because the energy can be delivered to the SMAS layer, excellent lifting results can be achieved. It also provides improvement in skin texture. In addition, ultrasound allows real-time monitoring of the treatment depth, making it a highly safe method.

For double chin lifting, combining lasers with medical skin care can produce even stronger lifting effects.

LDM water-drop lifting

LDM care is a dewy-skin treatment that promotes skin regeneration immunity by up to 1800%. Based on patented technology, it boosts the regeneration cycle of cells that has slowed down due to aging. Through this, it helps maintain skin moisture, promotes collagen regeneration, and strengthens the skin’s immune system, which may help create moist skin and a firmer face.



Ultrasound care

Ultrasound care suppresses melanin production and promotes collagen production. During ultrasound care, microvibrations help remove dead skin cells and balance oil and moisture, making it effective for improving skin troubles and acne. Depending on the skin type, it can help nutrients and moisturizing ingredients penetrate well, and may be effective for skin regeneration care and brightening care.
